We have these things all over the place here in the Flyover States(TM). I've always been a little concerned about what would happen if a tornado (also not uncommon here) were to get ahold of a few of those things and start throwing blades as big as a semi-truck around like a giant ninja.

Fizpez:Given the other reading selections down the bottom right hand side I'd go out on a limb and guess "Fair and balanced" with regard to wind energy is not terribly high on their list of priorities.

Maybe just this particular wind farm? They all appear to be Scottish wind farms.

Somebody screws up the foundation of a wind-turbine installation and it falls down, hurting nobody and resulting in a small loss of money --------> "zOMG green energy is a scam and global warming is a myth and fark those damn hippies, we need to get rid of these damn windmills!!!!."

BP/Haliburton/TransOcean exhibit repeated systematic neglect of safety standards culminating in an accident that kills 8 people and spews toxic sludge all over the Atlantic, ruining fisheries and devastating tourism, -------------------------> "Wait, that happened? oil is too expensive, let's build a pipeline across the whole continent."

The ones around my house are built like a brick shiathouse. I though we were all going to Oz last night with the crazy high winds. The turbines whoosh-whoosh-whoosed all night long.....and they're still whoosh-whoosh-whoosing all day today. I hate it when they're loud.
